leak in front closets

Have 20 Hideout 26hlswe, currently in Sparta Ohio. Just had down pour, wife went to get clothes out of closet. Some were or condensation, wet from rain/leak. Can't find wet spot-on wall/ceiling. Ideas where might be coming from? Could be condensation, humidity is about 90%? No other leaks that can be found. I notice that when traveling front of roof bubbles up. Still under warranty. Thoughts/suggestion. Long way from home in Idaho.

2019 Ram 2500 Cummins.

If your roof is bubbling up as you drive, there is a void in the sealant. Most likely spot is the front transition strip, and the corners. Get a tube of Dicor self leveling and as soon as you have a dry hour, get up there and look real close for any cracks. Clean the area and cover with new Dicor.

I second what Chuckster wrote. The roof billowing is a symptom of an inadequate seal. If not corrected, it will lead to more serious issues with the roof besides water intrusion. Regular inspection and maintenance of all sealants is not a warranty issue, it is a maintenance issue.
